REMOTE LEARNING ON MARCH 10 FOR THOSE NOT TESTING
On March 10, all sophomores will have the opportunity to take the PSAT 10 at Bradley High School. Even though this is a “Group A” hybrid day, all students who are NOT testing (freshen, juniors, and seniors) will be in remote learning on March 10. These students will not be in the building as they will be learning at home through instruction on Canvas. Only sophomores taking the PSAT 10 will report to Bradley on March 10.
Attention Sophomore Parents
On March 10, all sophomores (according to their grade in Home Access) will be taking the PSAT 10 test at their home buildings.

On March 10, sophomores will report to their testing locations at 7:40 a.m. These testing rooms will be posted on the Class of 2023 page. Below is additional information that will be helpful on both the testing day and leading up to the test day. Please contact your counselor for additional questions or clarification
- All College Board test security measures will be in place for this assessment. Students should be prepared not to bring their cell phones into the testing location (they can be kept in a backpack and turned off). They should also have proper identification with them. (current School ID, driver’s license, state ID, etc)
- Students should plan to bring a College Board approved calculator to the test administration. (Calculator information is LINKED HERE)
- Students should be able to see their scores from the state administration in their College Board account approximately 4 weeks from the test date.

Digital Wellness Month
It’s Digital Wellness Month at Hilliard Schools! The goal of digital wellness month is to recognize that while technology is a powerful tool for learning and information, we must learn to manage our time, behaviors, and choices on devices to maintain a healthy life. This week we will be sharing ideas around Well-Being for students.
One way to build a healthy digital life is for students to monitor their screen time so they know how much time they spend on a device and which apps they are using. To turn this on, go to Settings > Screen Time (on the left) > and Turn On Screen Time. This will give you a weekly report on the apps and the amount of time spent on those apps.
